Everton 3-2 Crystal Palace, Aston Villa 1-1 Burnley: Premier League – live!

Burnley #Burnley

Look, this isn’t the time for pretty preambles. At this stage of the season it’s all about getting the job done. Tonight that means following two huge games in the increasingly desperate scrap to avoid relegation from the Premier League: Aston Villa v Burnley and Everton v Crystal Palace.

You’re probably all permutationed out, so I’ll keep this bit brief. Burnley will move out of the relegation zone, and keep their fate in their own hands, if they avoid defeat at Villa Park. Everton will be safe – no ifs, no buts – if they beat Crystal Palace at home. But if they don’t, Sunday’s final day of the season will be fraught with peril.

These are the Premier League games we’ll be following:

  • Aston Villa v Burnley (8pm)
  • Chelsea v Leicester (8pm)
  • Everton v Crystal Palace (7.45pm)
  • Chelsea v Leicester is less important but not entirely without significance. Chelsea need a point to secure third place; Leicester, who could still end up anywhere between eighth and 14th, would at least like to finish in the top half.

    But that game – all doo respect – is a distant third in our list of priorities tonight.
